Learning With Us
At Tamarind Divers, we offer the full range of PADI courses, from experiencing breathing underwater for the very first time, to becoming a PADI professional.
We have a purpose built training pool on site, where you become comfortable with scuba equipment and practice skills before moving to the ocean.
All of our instructors are PADI professionals and teach to PADI standards.
Our spacious open-plan classroom offers students a relaxed learning environment overlooking the turquoise waters of Lembongan Bay. We only teach small groups with a maximum class size of 4 people, so you can be assured of individual tuition from your instructor.
All courses include full equipment hire, training manuals and PADI certification.
An alternative to completing the theory with us, is to sign up for PADI eLearning, where you complete the knowledge development online, saving more time to enjoy your holiday!
For all PADI courses you need to be medically fit to dive. You will be asked to fill in a Diver Medical Questionnaire before diving with us. This will normally be emailed to you in advance of your dive trip.
